Mr. Narisetti is the senior vice president of strategy at News Corp, which owns The Wall Street Journal, where he began his journalism career as a reporter and editor. He served as managing editor of the Washington Post from 2009 to 2012 and was founder and editor of Indian business newspaper Mint. He will join Univision in late October, the company said.

“As part of Univision, we will now be more ambitious in deepening, broadening and sensibly scaling the passionate digital communities that Gizmodo, Jezebel, Deadspin, Kotaku, Jalopnik and Lifehacker have attracted, by offering accurate, responsible, edgy and engaging journalism, as well as through relevant, related content and commerce,” Mr. Narisetti said in a statement.

Gizmodo Media Group President Heather Dietrick and Executive Editor John Cook will report to Mr. Narisetti.
